Fast and twisty read, though the time jumps and similar names does not serve it well at all times.

I enjoyed this book way more than I expected to. I thought the narrative style jumping between timelines was very interesting and cool. I liked the characters a lot and the story did not go where I was expecting.

I might need to light a candle to help me sleep after finishing this thriller ! My first novel from the author herself. Spoiler - It’s not the husband 😉🤪 It’s not spooky persay but chilling & nerve wracking. The title is kind of a little misleading because as the audience quickly finds out - it’s not actually just one woman we are looking for but two women and a little girl. I’ll admit the different POV’s were a little confusing at first but it became apparent what was going on the further you read. I again guessed completely  wrong as to who was behind the missing ladies but this definitely worth the read! Link a did a great job at keeping me on my toes. I believe I ended up giving it 3.5/3.75 ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨💫 Some plot lines could have been tightened just a little bit
